Completing this quest adds a large, locked chest to the center of your garrison by the fire. It doesn't do anything noticeable, but looks pretty cool.
Funny enough,
Spoiler
the heart actually got stolen by Azuka Bladefuryin this week's garrison campaign.

One thing is certain. We now possess an item of great value to the Iron Horde. We had better secure this... "Heart of Gorgorek" at once.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Heating Up
Greetings, <name>. I have been conducting research on the steam geysers of Gorgrond for some time now. Cragplume Cauldron is one of the largest caldera in this region, but we have been unable to do a geographical survey due to the dangerous creatures in this area.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Bladefury's Orders
Lieutenant O'rok: Send an elite strike team to Cragplume Cauldron. Retrieve a high-value artifact from the crater and deliver it to my command post in northern Talador. With your remaining forces, go to Gorgorek's Fall. Protect and prepare the ancient magnaron specimen for retrieval.
